THINKING WITH THINGS

SCOPE

These workshops will involve introducing things or product production into traditional classroom spaces. What does it mean to make things? How does a teacher introduce studio learning into their spaces?

POTENTIAL WORKSHOPS

CODING + HANDICRAFT ex. explore what is traditionally considered "women's work" and make connections to coding, pattern making as code

STUDIO LEARNING ex. help teachers envision their classes as studios; establish collective norms for students around what it means to be in a studio and accountable to every minute of individual work time.

ACADEMIC RESEARCH BULLET JOURNALS ex. students create journals (digital or analog) to track how long they spend researching, who they are researching (social justice), how long they are reading, and more.
